Spinal Manipulative Therapy: Spinal Manipulation - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is the generic term commonly given to a group of manually applied therapeutic interventions. These interventions are usually applied with the aim of inducing intervertebral movement by directing forces to vertebrae, and include spinal manipulation and mobilization. Spinal manipulative therapy may be an alternative to traditional treatments for spine-related pain because it is associated with relatively few side effects. A Cochrane review of spinal manipulative therapy states: "This review of 39 trials found that spinal manipulation was more effective in reducing pain and improving the ability to perform everyday activities than sham (fake) therapy and therapies already known to be unhelpful. However, it was no more or less effective than medication for pain, physical therapy, exercises, back school or the care given by a general practitioner."
